Daniel Orton, center

HT: 6-10 WT: 275 COLLEGE: Kentucky AGE: Turns 22 on Aug. 6, 2012. NBA SEASONS: Rookie* TWITTER HANDLE: @danielorton21 HOW HE CAME TO ORLANDO: Drafted 29th overall in 2010 SCOUTING REPORT:This is a critical season for Orton, who didn't play a single preseason game or regular-season game for the Magic in 2010-11 after he was drafted in the first round. He missed what would have been his rookie season because he needed to strengthen the muscles around his left knee and then tore some cartilage during a D-League game. He reported to training camp in 2011 lighter. Team officials believe Orton has potential, but the short preseason and compressed regular season works against him because coach Stan Van Gundy rarely plays inexperienced players. Orton is not a traditional back-to-the-basket center -- at least not yet. He has a good shooting touch. ODDS & ENDS: Orton grew up in Oklahoma City. Click here to see our Daniel Orton photo gallery
